Buying Store Brands

I have always shopped for store brands for the most part (usually Meijer and some Target) and saw on Meijer's website that they have a list of gluten free store brand products, but of course a disclamer saying they cannot speak to the possibility of cross-contamination. 

 

Is it safe to continue to buy store brands or do I need to switch to name brand companies on everything?

 

I usually buy ketchup, chex, pasta sauce, cheese, applesauce, and juice in the Meijer brand.

 

Thank you!

I don't consider name brand products to be of any different risk than store brands.

I agree with Peter.

I would check the store brand "Chex" . The ones I have seen DO NOT have the same ingredients and are not gluten-free.

Always check labels, I see "may contain traces of wheat" on many store brand items, and have had a couple made me sick.  As a result of getting sick from store brand items, I generally buy name brands now, as it is easier to find out information on the item and if it is safe or not.

Most all companies  will put  this  on their label to protect  their  ASSets!!!!  If  it  states  gluten-free  it  must  be  gluten free  or under 20ppm's  it is  the law....no matter  what  company  it is LAW.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
